Originally posted by TheOriginalH 2.18 kb per page saving by linking the vb3 styles rather than having them in the page... not a huge amount I know.

Off topic, and I know you're gonna be tearing-hair-out-busy so it doesn't matter, but keywords and description on vB default at the moment....

With gZIP on, the inline style information amounts to about 300 bytes which is equivalent to a browser sending a request to the server and determining whether to load the file out of its cache or from the server.

I've noticed this slowness with vB3, even over at vb.com. It seems to only be happening when viewing the list of threads in a forum for the first time. When you visit a thread and then pres the back button the previous thread list appears almost instantly, which in the long run is quicker, IMO.

BTW, I see this when doing a search for new threads since my last visit.
